1. Discuss the:
a. The Sabre-Tooth Curriculum by Harold Benjamin.
- The Saber Tooth Curriculum is a well-known research that shows how unchallenged
academic practices can actually make a difference.   According to the Saber-Tooth
Curriculum, an education system should honor the past while still becoming
unrestrained. The Saber Tooth Curriculum is a curriculum which adapts to the
survival needs of societies based on the changes they must adapt to (The outcomes-
based education principle). They severely stated that if you had any education, you
would know that true education is timeless. It withstands fluctuating conditions like a
strong rock standing squarely and solidly in the middle of a rushing river.

b. Basic Education
- Education is required by law for thirteen years (kindergarten through grade 12)
and is divided into three levels: elementary (kindergarten–grade 6), junior high
(grades 7–10), and senior high (grades 11–12). For public schools in grades K-12,
the Department of Education (DepEd) sets the standards and administers
standardized examinations. Private schools, on the other hand, have more leeway
in establishing their curricula as long as they follow the DepEd's existing rules.
The government passed new legislation in 2012 requiring pupils to attend school
from kindergarten (about the age of 5) until grade 12. (around age 18). As a result,
the new law added two years to the curriculum before students could graduate
from high school. Since then, the Philippine education system has become
increasingly akin to American K-12 education.

c. Technical Vocational Education

- The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority oversees TVET
programs (TESDA). Non-formal education in the Philippines includes technical-
vocational (Tech-Voc) courses. Republic Act 7796 established the Technical
 Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) to provide technical
education and skill development programs to Filipino students. At the Philippines,
both the government and private institutions provide technical and vocational
education programs in junior high schools. TVET prepares students and other
clients for work by providing education and training. It also provides specialized
skills training for those who are already working and need to upgrade or develop
new abilities in order to increase their chances of finding work and/or
productivity.

d. Higher Education
- Higher education in the Philippines is provided by a variety of colleges and
universities—also known as higher education institutions—through various
degree programs (commonly known as courses in the Philippines), which include
Baccalaureate or Bachelor Degrees and Graduate Degrees (Master's and
Doctorate) (HEIs). The Commission on Higher Education is in charge of
administering and regulating these programs (CHED).

e. Recommended Curriculum
- Almost every course in our institutions has a high rating. The "Recommended
Curriculum" is a broad curriculum developed at the national level and
implemented in a variety of educational settings. Curriculum designed for a single
location, generally a district, is known as region-specific curriculum. Memoranda,
policies, norms, and guidelines are used to make suggestions. A well-designed
curriculum can serve as a checkpoint to ensure that you're on the right track. Its
components are designed to assist students in progressing from fundamental
principles to more complex topics or skills. It's important to remember that a
curriculum is more than just a single criterion for a school year.

f. Written Curriculum
- This includes course of study, syllabi, modules, books, or instructional manuals
that are passed down to schools, districts, divisions, departments, or universities
 to implement. The majority of them were developed with the help of curriculum
specialists and teachers, and were pilot-tested or tried out in a small group of
schools or people. The Basic Education Curriculum is an example of this (BEC).
The written lesson plan of each classroom teacher, for example, is mainly
composed of objectives and proper regulation. The Implementation of the k-12
Philippine Basic Education Curriculum is the most recent written curriculum.

g. Taught Curriculum
- The Taught curriculum, also known as the operational curriculum, is a variety of
planned activities carried out in the classroom. These are a variety of activities
performed to achieve the purpose or purpose of the written curriculum. These are
used by learners under the guidance of a teacher. The curriculum depends on the
student's learning style and the teacher's teaching style. The curriculum given by
the teacher to the students is called the curriculum. Taking students into account,
they determine how the desired learning outcomes are achieved.

h. Assessed Curriculum
- Refers to the curriculum that has been reviewed or evaluated. During and at the
end of the lesson, the teacher will perform a series of assessments to determine
the scope of the lesson or to determine if the student is progressing. Evaluation
tools such as paper and pencil tests, and full-fledged tools such as portfolios are
used. The evaluated curriculum is important for stakeholders to be able to assess
the impact of a written curriculum on learners. The curriculum that is reflected in
the learner's evaluation or evaluation is called the assessed curriculum. This
includes both formative and comprehensive assessments of learners conducted by
teachers, schools, or external organizations.

i. Learned Curriculum
- This is a curriculum that learners adopt and understand as a result of interaction
with teachers, classmates, or educational institutions. It covers the knowledge,
attitudes and skills that students have acquired. The curriculum learned is related
 to the learning outcomes achieved by the student. Learning outcomes are
indicated by test results and behavioral changes. This is either cognitive,
emotional, or psychomotor.

j. Hidden/Implicit Curriculum
- This is an unintended curriculum and not intentionally planned, but it can change
behavior and affect learning outcomes. There are many hidden curriculum leaks
in the school. The curriculum is concealed by peer influences, school
environment, physical condition, teacher-student interactions, teacher mood, and
many other factors. Hidden curriculum refers to lessons, values, and perspectives
that students learn at school, are unwritten, informal, and often unintended.
Hidden curriculum is usually referred to as "hidden" because it is not recognized
or investigated by students, educators, and the wider community.

2. It is necessary for teachers to learn about School Curriculum? Why?

- Yes, this is important. This is because the school curriculum allows teachers to
know what skills they need to teach in each grade in order to ultimately prepare
their students for higher education and careers. Understanding the big picture
helps teachers align their curriculum learning goals with the school curriculum.

Reflection:

- A good curriculum also connects teachers of all grades and departments to give a
complete picture of student learning. As a future educator, take hours to deepen
your knowledge and make sure your students are prepared for what's to come. As
an aspiring teacher, you should always keep in mind that the curriculum is always
considered the "center" of any learning facility. In other words, a school or
university cannot exist without a curriculum. Due to its relevance to formal
education, the curriculum has become a more dynamic process due to changes in
our society. The curriculum is a set of standard-based, planned experiences in
which students practice and acquire practical and applied learning skills. The
curriculum is a central guide for all educators on what is essential to education
and learning so that all students have access to a rigorous academic experience.
